Storyline

The plot in Xenoglossia regards the destruction of Earth's moon several decades ago and the devastation its lack of gravitational pull has had on the planet's tides and overall ecosystem stability. Making thing worse are the fragments of the “Lost Artemis” that frequently fall to Earth, bringing yet more destruction in their wake. In order to combat this the organization, Mondenkind has deployed five idols built around very powerful harmonically tuned cores found in the wake of the moon's destruction. Piloting these giant robot idols are Masters who must be female in order for the idols to allow control. These idols are then deployed during meteor showers and used to destroy large asteroids with high powered sonic shockwaves emitted via a precisely delivered punch. Making Mondenkind’s trouble worse is the organization Turiavita, which seeks to steal away all the idols from Mondenkind and its Masters and allow the destruction of humanity to occur so its own touted superior genetically engineered race of Idol/Human hybrid called the Mischlings can take over in their place. Much of the series is about the battle between Mondenkind and Turiavita for control of the idols as well as the shifting bonds and rivalries between the Masters themselves.
